Preview: 2013 Quiksilver Pro

For the first time in his career Joel Parkinson is the man to beat going into the Quiksilver Pro. Coming off of a win at the four-star Surfest in Newcastle last week, it doesn't appear celebrating the world title has slowed him down too much.

The smart money would be on Slater winning the Quik Pro. He's won it three times already (and has two other victories at Kirra), and with Parko taking the title and the next generation coming on, he's surfing with some urgency.

Nobody's more eager to get this thing underway than Fanning. Expect him to come out and throw a haymaker. An off result on his home turf last year, and a third-place finish in the title ratings, Fanning's going to be all business at Snapper.

It's time to shine for Julian Wilson. The next generation is snapping at his heels, and much like Jordy Smith, if he's going to make a push to assert himself on tour this year it best happen sooner rather than later.
